Hounding StonyLive!

The annual StonyLive! feast gets underway on Saturday, and we call it a feast with good reason – just shy of 70 events are planned over the nine days.

It is testament to a small, but dedicated team of volunteers that StonyLive! not only continues to rear its head annually, but is a multi-faceted beast of a party!

Music monsters will be able to sate appetites with a wondrous amount of stuff on the menu: Michael Buble and Sinatra tributes, resident hoppers The Bullfrogs, good time jazz with erm, Good Time Jazz, and The King Biscuit Boys.

Or how about popping in to The Fox & Hounds on a Thursday night?

Terry Marshall and the Hounds are always right for a tasty mix of blues and jazz...with a little humour to boot.

The Cock Hotel has Michele Welborn & Steve McDaniel booked in, while Dansmall and Friends will get busy upstairs at The Crown.

An event highlight will undoubtedly be the arrival of Coope, Boyes and Simpson, who will play under The Song Loft banner on Wednesday evening.

‘The kings of unaccompanied harmonies plunder unlikely sources as they knit immaculate vocals into songs of withering observation on sleaze culture, modern politics and all points beyond.’

Tickets are £10 in advance, and buy them upfront you should, or get set for disappointment.
